The building of these mythical cars is the work of a genius: Ettore Bugatti. Ettore was born, in Milan, in 1881: the son of an exceptionally talented artist, Carlo Bugatti. After school, the young Ettore studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and then is hired by Prinetti and Stucchi, a tricycle Format: 27’39’’ manufacturer. Passionate about automotive technology, which was still at its infancy, he built his first Type: documentary fourwheeled car at the age of 18. Contacted by Baron de Dietrich, Ettore accepts a contract to design Director: F. Paradiso and build the cars for the firm, in Alsace. Ettore’s career is launched. The man, with a string character, continued to improve the models he built by going to EEC Mathis then Deutz. Settled in Molsheim with his Production: Armada, family, he launched from 1910 on 13, 15 and 17 Types which ally technology and beauty perfectly. After Arès-Films the Great War, Bugatti participated in numerous motor racing events and perfected new engines. 29 Type will give rise to Bugatti myth and 35 Type, designed in 1924, became the reference for racing cars.

Numerous photographs and archive films which illustrate their comments plunge us into the intriguing history of the car. Part 2 In 1929, Ettore Bugatti is very often in Paris, where he has to deal with cash-flow problems. Before handing on the torch to his son Jean, he made his old dream come true: the Royale, or 41 Type, a true monument to automotive history. Jean was only 20 at that time and has a promising future ahead. He discovers the world of racing but also that of speed and risk. In 1930s, when creating the famous Esders coupé, a marriage of novelty and classicism, Jean was given the opportunity to express his talent. He produced his first serial cars, the 55Type. He was able to assert his personality and his designs broke with the classical body work dear to his father. The 57 Type and her siblings will consecrate the work of Jean Bugatti. The Type 57 chassis was used in racing and these cars, exceeding 250 km / h, won Le Mans in 1937 and 1939.

The car broke into flames and Jean died from his injuries.This tragic incident brought about the demise of Bugatti. After WWII, Ettore Bugatti was devastated and on the 21st of August, 1947, he died from a heart attack.

  • The Lost Bugatti
    BUGATTI DIATTO AVIO 8C WORDS CLAUDE TEISEN-SIMONY & DAVID LILLYWHITE ARCHIVE PICTURES BUGATTI TRUST A mysterious chassis fitted with a one-off Bugatti aero engine, discovered in a Turin museum, turns out to have links to a famous pilot and to Maserati’s first car. But could it also have been the first step towards the super-luxury Bugatti Royale saloon? The lost Bugatti 90 / MAGNETO MAGNETO / 91 BUGATTI DIATTO AVIO 8C T This is one hell of a tale. It’s controversial at times, it brings in threads involving World War One fighter pilot Roland Garros, surprising links to Maserati, and the likely origins of not just Bugatti’s Grand Prix engines, but also the legendary Bugatti Royale. Most exciting of all, it introduces a remarkable aero-engined Bugatti that’s never been seen before. To whet your appetite, it’s a 14.5-litre and develops 250bhp at 2160rpm – Bugatti’s equivalent of the ‘Beast of Turin’ Fiat or the Benz-engined Scariscrow. Crucially, a large proportion of it is original, rescued from decades in hiding by a legendary Bugatti expert before moving on to its current owner. It’s been painstakingly researched, restored and part-recreated in secret by craftsmen in Denmark and the Czech Republic. To all but a select few, its existence remained unknown until its big reveal at the Rétromobile show in Paris on February 6. So, how did we get to this point? Let’s start with the engine, because actually it’s more important than the car itself in many ways. The story begins with French pilot Roland Garros, who in 1913 made the first-ever non-stop flight across the Mediterranean, flying a fast Morane-Saulnier monoplane.

  • Bugatti: with Our History at Heart and Our Eyes on the Future
    Bugatti: with our history at heart and our eyes on the future Bugatti celebrates its 110th anniversary with two world premieres at Geneva Motor Show Molsheim, 5 March 2019. What a start to an anniversary year. At the first major international motor show in 2019, Bugatti is presenting two world premieres. At the Geneva Motor Show, the French luxury brand is showing the hyper sports car “La Voiture Noire1“ and the Chiron Sport “110 ans Bugatti”. The special edition of the Chiron Sport , which is being produced in a limited series of 20 cars, celebrates the brand’s 110th anniversary as well as its French identity. However, the highlight will be the unveiling of “La Voiture Noire”, which had been kept secret up to the beginning of the show. This is a homage to the legendary Bugatti Type 57 SC Atlantic. This one-off grand tourisme has already been sold and is the world’s most expensive new car, at €11 million. “In 2019, we are celebrating a special anniversary. Bugatti was established 110 years ago. These two models pay homage to our long tradition and to our French homeland,” says Bugatti president Stephan Winkelmann. The third model on the Bugatti stand is also in line with this approach: the Bugatti Divo2, is a hyper sports car which is being produced in a limited edition of 40 vehicles. With its modified aerodynamics, it is designed for even higher lateral acceleration than the Chiron3 and ensures extreme driving pleasure. With “La Voiture Noire“, the French luxury automobile brand has once again shown that it produces the world’s most precious and exclusive hyper sports cars.

  • Ettore Bugatti – Perfectionist and Inventor — Bugatti Newsroom
    Ettore Bugatti – perfectionist and inventor MOLSHEIM 12 05 2020 FROM FIVE-TOED SHOES, TO SPECIAL CUTLERY AND THE BÉBÉ BUGATTI – A LITTLE JOURNEY THROUGH THE BUGATTI FOUNDER’S LIFEWORK. A technical product is not perfect until it is aesthetically impeccable as well, Ettore Bugatti once said. And the company founder applied this standard not just to his own automobiles but to other everyday items too. If he was not satisfied with something he had bought, he often improved it or decided to produce his own version of it. The following small selection of examples demonstrates just how wide-ranging his inventive talent was. The henhouse Ettore Bugatti loved pasta more than anything and always had it freshly prepared by an Italian cook. For this he needed chicken eggs. When he went out to get some one day, he returned in an angry state without having purchased a single egg: the prices had gone up yet again. He then decided to keep chickens himself and set up his own little chicken farm. He designed the henhouse with wheels so that he could move it around his large grounds. Of course, the investment required meant that the eggs were subsequently much more expensive than if he had bought them individually. But at least they were fresh and he was no longer dependent on the farmers. The pasta machine with a steering wheel One day Bugatti’s cook complained about a malfunctioning pasta machine in the kitchen. It would take several weeks before a new machine could be delivered to the Alsace region.

  • Bugatti “La Voiture Noire” – a One-Off Car for the Anniversary — Bugatti
    Bugatti “La Voiture Noire” – a one-off car for the anniversary MOLSHEIM / GENEVA 05 03 2019 The successful continuation of their heritage poses a challenge for traditional companies. Once again, the French luxury brand Bugatti has shown that it can transform these challenges into unique models. With its one-off car “La Voiture Noire1“Bugatti has again proved that it makes the world’s most powerful, most luxurious and most exclusive hyper sports cars. “The true form of luxury is individuality. ‘La Voiture Noire’ is now at the cutting edge of automobile production. It is a sculptural beauty with unique technology, the ideal grand tourisme,” says Bugatti President Stephan Winkelmann. This is a coupé with the comfort of a luxury limousine and the power of a hyper sports car. A pioneering spirit, a passion for perfection and the desire to continually redefine its limits have been the key characteristics of Bugatti since the brand was established 110 years ago. “Our history is both a privilege and a responsibility – the responsibility for continuing the Bugatti heritage into the future. With “La Voiture Noire”, we are paying homage to our heritage and bringing speed, technology, luxury and aesthetics forward to a new era,” says Stephan Winkelmann. The new hyper sports car reflects Bugatti’s French heritage and its French identity – elegance through minimalism and refinement through intensification. This is a tailor-made creation only comparable with the haute couture of exclusive Paris fashion designers. “La Voiture Noire” - more than a reinterpretation “La Voiture Noire is a far more than a modern interpretation of Jean Bugatti’s Type 57 SC Atlantic.

  • Alsace – Home of Bugatti for 110 Years — Bugatti Newsroom
    Alsace – home of Bugatti for 110 years MOLSHEIM 16 01 2020 THE FRENCH REGION OF ALSACE HAS A MOVING HISTORY – JUST LIKE BUGATTI Flammkuchen, white wine and cars. Alsace in the north of France has a lot to offer – and a lively history. The region between the Vosges and the Rhine switched its political affiliation several times from the 17th century onwards, between the Holy Roman Empire, the German Reich and France. France ceded Alsace to the German Reich in 1871, after which its affiliation switched three more times. The Paris Peace Conference ended on this day 100 years ago. The conference took place at the Palace of Versailles between 18 January 1919 and 21 January 1920. About 100 years ago, on 10 January 1920, the Treaty of Versailles came into force after being painstakingly agreed over many months. The signing of this treaty brought the First World War to an end under international law. Despite the frequent changes, Alsace developed culturally and industrially. The self-confident people of Alsace are proud of their regional identity. French luxury manufacturer Bugatti also made a modest contribution. The region is closely interlinked with the long history of Bugatti. About 110 years ago, company founder Ettore Bugatti moved to Molsheim in Alsace, which at that time was part of the German Reich. Bugatti himself, born in Italy, felt himself to be French even from a young age and thus perfectly epitomised the multinational nature of the people of Alsace. Ettore Bugatti moved to Alsace 110 years ago In late 1909, Ettore Bugatti and his family moved from Cologne to Molsheim near Strasbourg, where he had secured funding to produce cars and aircraft engines.
